A lot of you are either choosing to misrepresent what happened in the book or just have a misunderstanding of Cyclops after all these years.
People want to read about how the characters make peace-loving speeches. Cyclops didn't fit that concept (until now).
The correct way for X-Men to fight oppression is by defeating genocidal maniacs through non-violent means.
Sounds like rather than try to integrate how Scott was before his death they just jumped back and had him choose a different path, just don't want him to play the victim or the savior of all mutants, somewhere in the middle is best...that he has no plans past taking out the X-men's enemies, like maybe he doesn't expect to live through it or something along those lines...also wonder how he and Alex will interact and if he'll get Alex out of jail because he's his brother or just because he needs him for the team...and sadly I could see him leaving Rachel to Ahab...
Reading this thread makes me so glad I stayed up at 2am to read this without any perceived notions from these discussion threads, because it's such a better read without seeing people already hating on the issue.

Not exactly like I remembered it and he put "bad guy" in quotations buuuuuut it was not going to be a great run for Emma.
Well, straight away there was throwing a bunch of kids out of the school and straight into a bomb immediately after M-Day simply because they were no longer [s]superior bein--[/s] mutants.
And really, that sums up "Edgy Cyclops". Most of his "hard choices" were ineffective at best or plain made things worse. And the rest was stuff he would have done anyway, but without being so much of a jerk.
Everyone saying "oh, he wasn't really a terrorist during Bendis' run, no matter what he was saying". Well, that makes him an INEFFECTIVE terrorist. Not a non-terrorist. (Oh, and the "million mutant march" was the Isolationist's big plan during PAD's X-Factor, because it put all the mutants nicely in one place to bomb into oblivion. See also: the 198 fiasco)

You, a month ago--
"The reason is likely that he wants to signal he regrets everything that happened since Morrison's run.
Basically, character regression"
Goddamn. Please share your clairvoyance perk. I didn't know the devs added stuff like that to the game already.
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
why don't we actually wait and see what happens next instead of crying over 1 issue? i'm just glad he's back
Ah. I remember this. Well....at least he used quotes?
1) That wasn’t Scott’s decision. It was ultimately Emma who didn’t want more lives to watch than necessary.
2) Of course they didn’t plan for the bus to get bombed. They were sending them back to their homes for their protection.
